States of Emergency: Keeping the global population in check | Prof Kees van der Pijl
Since the collapse of state socialism, and the unleashing of speculative capitalism, societies are increasingly being governed by a politics of fear.
In the West we are in a situation in which the Covid state of emergency is beginning to unravel. With growing numbers of people dying in age groups where they shouldn’t be, and many more suffering from side effects of the experimental injections that were supposedly able to ward off infection, expert opinion that the Covid virus emerged from a biowarfare laboratory, and that the pharmaceutical industry is exploiting the situation, is gaining ground.
Yet, discrimination on the basis of ‘vaccine’ status was believed rational from the perspective of a ruling class seeking to impose discipline. Now that it appears as if ‘pandemic narrative’ is losing its effectiveness, like ‘terrorism’ before it, other options are being explored. These include replacing money with Central Bank Digital Currencies tied to social credit; climate emergencies; and nuclear war scares.
Prof Kees Van Der Pijl was a lecturer in International Relations at the University of Amsterdam, and from 2000 until 2012 professor at the University of Sussex, UK.
He is a published author, having written:
The Making of an Atlantic Ruling Class (1984, new edition 2012).
Global Rivalries from the Cold War to Iraq (2006).
The Discipline of Western Supremacy (2014).
Flight MH17, Ukraine and the New Cold War (2018).
States of Emergency. Keeping the Global Population in Check (2022).
He has edited several collections, most recently The Militarization of the European Union (2021).
The pandemic has revealed that it was about more than just public health and the political, economic and societal aspects of the response are of far greater significance than the virus itself. There remains a continued drive toward the transformation of our societies in ways that threaten democracy and our existing ways of life. Open Society Sessions aim to examine the political, societal and economic dimensions of our recent experience and analyse developments in the future.
